Python: Converting string into decimal number

If you want the result as the nearest binary floating point number use float:

result = [float(x.strip(' "')) for x in A1]

If you want the result stored exactly use Decimal instead of float:

from decimal import Decimal
result = [Decimal(x.strip(' "')) for x in A1]
